Subject: bug#60056: [PATCH RFC 2/6] build: gnu-build-system2: Remove source from native inputs.

From: Maxim Cournoyer <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2022 22:23:24 -0500

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44924>, in a cross-compilation context.

Having the source in inputs when computing search paths can break builds.  One
example is a git checkout of the Linux source tree, where the source (a
directory) 'include' subdirectory gets picked up in C_INCLUDE_PATH and causes
conflicts with the includes provided by glibc.

* guix/build/gnu-build-system2.scm (set-paths): Remove any "source" native
input.
